* The Firefox Release Channel is the fully tested version by Mozilla and intended to
be the most stable. This channel is updated roughly every 6 weeks.

** The Chrome Stable Channel is the fully tested version by Google and intended to be
the most stable as the name implies. This channel is updated roughly every 2-3 weeks
for minor releases and 6 weeks for major releases.

Note About Firefox & Chrome: Mozilla Firefox & Google Chrome differ from other browsers. They are following a
rapid release strategy and are releasing updates every 6 or so weeks. UTC Learn supports
Chrome and Firefox in the broad sense of the meaning, UTC Learn finds most UTC Learn
functionality is compatible, however, certain functions may not work as expected.
